Short description of error
Changes in window sizes or rearranged components are not saved.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

  • Go to EDIT -> PREFERENCES
  • Increase the size of the Preferences window by dragging it by the frame edge
  • Close the Preferences window
  • Open the Preferences window again by going to EDIT -> PREFERENCES

The Preferences window size is back to its original size despite you increasing the size earlier

Same goes for changes in the panels, example:

  • Go to FILE -> IMPORT -> COLLADA
  • Resize the import file window that opened
  • Rearrange the components in the quick access panel on the left of that window, i.e. swap the position of VOLUMES and SYSTEM by dragging them by their handle (::::)
  • Close the window
  • Reopen the window with FILE -> IMPORT -> COLLADA

You will notice it saved the resizing of this window, but it did not save the rearranged quick access panel components

I did not test whether the window size is still saved after closing and reopening Blender.
I did not test if the window positions are saved.

I did not claim it was saved in the preferences. However I disagree, it certainly is a bug since it is partially implemented but does not work consistently. Reopen this bug report.
